Northland Tour

We had completed a tour of Northland with the NZ Triumph Stag Club and had 3 nights at Relax a Lodge. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, our cottage was perfect for 4 adults, was clean with everything you could need. The mandarins and oranges provided were delicious.

Fabulous stay, would Love to stay again

We had a fabulous stay at Claes’s property. The photos don’t do it justice. Really magical property, organic citrus orchard, salt water pool, kune kune pigs who sit on command to be fed, a friendly dog for kids to play fetch with and free range chickens. Well appointed cabin with really thoughtful features like quality bedding, Double glazing, a spa bathtub, well stocked kitchen etc. we all felt welcome and so comfortable and a great location to explore from. Call Claes to chat before booking as he has so many options available

Great location, great host and great batch...!!

Location: Perfect for up north vacation. 5min drive to coundown/new world, restaurants and shops. Almost in the main highway, but no vehicle sounds at all. Easy to find, plenty of parking. Host: Very friendly, great communication and thinking from guest's side. Bach: Surrounded by lots of orange/mandarine trees. Bach has everything a small family needs. It's super clean and super detailed. Double glazed windows and heat pump keeps the inside warm. Kitchen is fully equipped and functional. Bedrooms are lovely and comfortable. Value for money: Definitely worth every cent. Recommendation: Highly recommended and will come back again for sure.

Cottage is located right in an orange groove...beautiful. Cottage was clean and cozy. Kitchen is well equiped and bathroom was clean and modern. My daughter loved it when the dog Nika would come to the front door looking for her every morning. She also loved feeding the very gentle and friendly pigs. We had a fantastic stay at this property!
